Christopher J BurkeChristopher J. Burke is a writer, high school math teacher, and webcomic creator. He's also a gamer and fan of science fiction who has been telling stories since he was little. This combination ultimately led to his first professional sale, Don't Kil the Messenger, in Autoduel Quarterly. This was followed by the creation of a fiction fanzine, Driving Tigers Magazine, with stories set in the Car Wars universe of Steve Jackson Games, which had a five-issue run. Thanks to his knowledge and love of that game, he was asked to co-author GURPS Autoduel, 2nd edition for Steve Jackson Games. He took time off from writing when he switched careers and went back to school to become a teacher. But not before he completed a goal of having a humor piece published in MAD Magazine. In 2007, he started the math-based webcomic (x, why?), filled with the kind of geeky humor that makes his students groan when he includes them in the daily lesson. The comic still updates with new strips every week on his blog. http: //mrburkemath.blogspot.com After a chance meeting at a launch party in 2014, Christopher was once again bitten by the writing bug and started producing flash fiction. He won several monthly flash fiction contests on the eSpec Books website, and appeared in their anthology, In a Flash 2016. Christopher lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Antoinette. Read More Read Less
